Tempting.
Back in March I used a spare key from a steam sale to play for a month. Hit 70BLU in under a week(with subjobs nin, war, blm, whm, and thf leveled to 50). Couldn't even find anyone outside of page grinders to party. All missions pretty much involved having a Lv90 LS member help. Ended up stopping because of some stuff in FFXIV.

well it is my goal to bring back some of the oldschool feel of ffxi. I am hoping to create a community that will activly care about the other members, and love to mentor down and help other memebers do group content,even if they have done it 15 times over :-P

awesome guys :) it's starting to seem like there may actually be an interest in this!

I will work on a website/forum for us later this evening and post the link in this thread so people can start signing up, and introducing themselves and what jobs they would like to bring to the table, as well as a more in depth look at what I hope for us as a Linkshell.

I will also include a poll concerning what server people would like to roll on as well as what nights are best for people to get together for group nights. (everyday should be group days :-P but these are nights where we get together and focus on story/artifact/relic/dynamis ect...)

excellent everyone :) my download is pretty much done at the typing of this!

For those who have abyssea powerleveling concerns, I want to make it known to everyone, I want to bring back

oldschool xp parties!! Meaning lvl 1-10/11 will be the only solo levels, then we move to the dunes and so on.

At 18-20 we group up and hunt down our own subjob items, no high level killing stuff for us, we travel together to Jeuno for the first time for our chocobo's (well if we so choose :-P)

right now in my head I see it as the first couple months grouping, and leveling mains/subs and fighting some low lvl nm's for gear, and doing quests/story missions. I hope to do this progression based, so we will focus on our nation missions til rank 10, then move on to zilart, and so on.

For those worried about abyssea, abyssea is an end game eventuality, but I don't want to use it as a powerlevel area. I want to do what it was ment for, killing the zone nm's, taking out the Caturae, and then ultimatly downing Shinryu, that is it!

I will be putting more time into the site throughout tomorrow, and up to the actual creation of the LS this Thursday.

In the meantime, all those interested in this endevor, feel free to sign up, and fill out an application (It's open admit, just using it to tally how many people are interested on the site) and feel free to introduce yourselves on the forums, as well as what job you most prefer playing.

This interests me also - however I am waiting for ARR but would love to experience FFXI all over again. But I am GMT timezone and I find it difficult getting on at same time as other players etc. Just wondering if this would be worth my time or not?

Good luck avoiding abyssea I really hope you can do. Also even if you can avoid it good luck avoiding fields of valor. Though nowhere near as fast as lvling in aby it is still a lot faster than leveling the traditional way. Oh and even the traditional way isn't traditional because everything is double xp now.

The good news is you won't have any issues competing for camps. The whole idea sounds good but I have met a few LSs that have tried to do the same and it's hard to keep people away from aby or FoV once they've tried it. It is just too fun and too fast and allows you to do so much more than just xp all the time.

But just curious what server are you guys on? I wouldn't mind joining an old school xp party now and then just for fun. You're not opposed to level sync are you? Cause if you go that far it's gonna be near impossible to lvl.

Hello everyone :)

Good to see this forum is still gathering attention!

Few things, for the person that mentioned something about gmt times, I usually play online games with a friend in that time zone (5 hours ahead of me) and never really had too much of an issue. I would like to imagine that if we continue growing and fill in multiple time slots there will be people on all the time for people to group with.

As for abyssea and FoV

I know those will always be tempting for leveling groups. I will not tell people they can't do it, but I would like to give oldschool playing a try, and give it an honest go. FoV I don't mind running, if we are in a 6 man group doing it right, not 18 man alliances in gusgen killing page 1 over and over from 12-30.

p.s pearls will be handed out in bastok tomorrow around 2 pm est. I will be making a post here, and on our forums about it.
